OF MIR. l.. w. Harry, a farmer living
near Patrick, and suspicion, siter a
close watch OF several days, fell upon
one Dan Wells, who was living in

Sparks in a short time succeeded
in arresting him. While con-
veying Wells before the just
ice the officer and his prisoner
were surrounded by large pc Sc of
men who took charge of the prisoner
and ordered the constable to move
on. They, the captors then swung
Wells up to tree tor the purpose of
forcing him to confess his part in
the stealing of the horses aud to
dvulge his associates.
Several reports as to the Result
were stloat in the city all day. No
definite information as to how he es

last night, however. Escape he did

custody AS he was not brought in

Some of the Indians of Mexico have
queer ideas about religion. A c-orrespon-
dent of The Boston Herald tells how a
parish priest was puzzled not long ago by
a query put to him by Indian parish
toner's bringing wooden crosses to be
blessed, they invariably asking him to
bless ''the heart of the cross" That
phrase, 1.-THE heart of the cross" sur
prised him, and finally he contrived 10
get hold of n of the crosses brought to
him for blessing, and found in the in
terror a hollow, in which was q small
owl, the sacred bird, the tecolote of the
Aztecs. Then he knew why the Indians
had been so anxious that the heart of the
cross should receive the blessing. 1t is
a sort of good Lord, good devil' re-
iSion the Indians have. They wish to
be on the right side of the Christian
Deity, and, at the same time, ito keep
solid," as the phrase is, with their
ancient divinities .-New York Tribune.

l have been in scores of old attics in
Pennsylvania Dutch houses, and discov-
cred whole rows of pegs driven into the
stout oaken beams and ~rafters, with little
tufts of hair sprouting from the holes.
These had been wrenched from simple
Dutch heads, and with it, the owners be-
lieved, had gone the troublous ailment.
So, if the hair be driven in a live oak
tree, II next passer coming in ontac
with that tree will absorb the ''trans-
ferred" disease; while, again, if the suf-
ferer goes to a willow copse, ties three
knots of his hair symbolic of the trim
ity), wrenches them from his head, and
h runs nimbly away without ever
looking back, the disease will disappear
by 'transference."
Among the more ignorant is found the
still existing superstition that infectious
diseases may be cured by clipping the in
valid's hair, laying it between slices of
well buttered bread, and feeding the lat
ter to the first stray dog happening that
way. The head of a live fish, held for a
short time in a sick child's mouth, and
flung back into the water alive, will cure
it of disease. Young babes are washed
in S sap, no doubt with transmitted
reverence for the sacred associations of
ash wood; and it is said to cure ~serpents'
bites. Driving nails into oak trees is a
toothache remedy. Warts will disappear
if rubbed with oaken cinders, the latter
being tied in a package and dropped at
the nearest cross roads. Wens are re-
moved if stroked by the hands of the
dead. The old Morse custom of slipping
iron keys between the clothing and skin
to stop bleeding at the nose is also found
here. Rubbing flesh with polished silver
is believed to nave curative properties.
The bark of the alder is greatly relied on
for purifying the blood generally, for
curing serpents' bites; and alder bark tea,
plentifully sprinkled about, exercises
witches; while laying peonies on crazy
peoples heads is supposed to restore to
sanity.-Edgar L. Wakeman's Letter.

Mr.. Milford has told us how he saw a
Chinese physician prescribe a decoction
of three scorpions for u child struck down
with fever; and Mr.. Gill, in his '.River
of Golden Sand, " mentions having met a
number of coolies laden with red deers'
horns, some of them very fine twelve
tine antlers. They are only hunted when
IN velvet, and from the horns in this
state a medicine is made which is one of
the most highly priced IN the Chinese
pharmacopueia. With regard to the sin
gular virtues supposed to attach to the
medicinal use of tiger, Gen. Robert War
den tells me that on one occasion when,
in India. he was exhibiting some trophies
OF the chase, some Cinnamon who were
present became much excited at the sight
of an unusually fine tiger skin. They
eagerly inquired whether it would be pos
sible to find the place where the carcass
had been buried, because from the bones
OF tigers dug up three months after burial
n decoction may be prepared which gives
immense muscular power to the fortu-
nate man who swallows it!
L am indebted to the same informant
for an interesting note on the medicine
folk lore of India, namely, that while
camping in the jungle one of his men
came to entreat him to shoot a nightiar
for his benefit, because from the bright,
prominent eyes of this bird of the night
an ointment is prepared that gives great
clearness of vision, and is therefore highly
priced. Miss Bird, too. has recorded some
very remarkable details on the materia
medica of China and Japan. When in a
remote district of Japan she became SO
unwell as to deem it necessary to consult
a native doctor, of whom she says: '.He
has great faith in ginseng and in rhi-
noceros horn, and in the powdered liver of
some animal, which from the description
understood to be a tiger-all specifics of
the Chinese school of medicines. DR.,
Nosod showed me q small box of uni
corn's horn, which he said was worth
more than its weight in gold. Nine

To any n who knows what Hlnga-
rian villages are like, the marvel is not so
much that they should be burned occa-
%sionally as that they should not be con-
sumed by fire oftener. The MAGYAR is
not in reality the semi-O Oriental cavalier
he is sometimes imagined to be. But no
does keep at least one memorial of the
fact that he is the son of Arpad. His
village has been compared to the camp of
a regiment of light cavalry. 1t consists
of two immense rows of wooden hllts.

The Best Methods for BeEinners-whe
Attacked by Cramp.

The Best Methods for Beginners-when
Attacked by Cramp.
Probably one of the best ways of learn
ing to swim is to go with a competent
teacher In a boat in deep water, this sup
porting the body more buoyantly than
that which is shallower, and preventing
the constant tendency of beginners to
touch bottom, which here is, of course,
impossible. The teacher should fasten a
rope securely round the waist, or, better
still, to a belt which can neither tighten
MOI slip down. The rope may DO fast
ened to a short pole. Supported in this
manner the pupil may take his proper
position in the water and practice the
necessary motions, and the support of the
rope may be gradually lessened until the
pupil finds himself entirely supported by
the water. That is the first great lesson
with which to inculcate the beginner,
VIZ, that he cannot sink if he will but
keep his body under the water, leaving
only his mouth and nose exposed. His
body then is lighter than the water and
he will float, but every ounce of flesh he
shows above water is equal to about a
pound of lead in weighing him down.
Corks u bladders are often used as
supports for learners, but it is much better
to begin without them. Life preserver3
are of little use, as their bulk is generally
all around the chest, and they hinder a
free use OF the arms and impede the mo-
ton. Swimming with a plank is not a
bad way.
Those persons who plunge into the
water when they are heated by exercise
and remain in it until they are benumbed
with the cold or exhaust themselves by
very violent exertion are the most sub
ject to attacks of cramp. The moment
the swimmer is seized by cramps in the
legs he must not suffer himself to feel
alarmed, but strike the limb with all
his might, keeping the heel downward
and drawing the toes as far upward as he
can, although at the time these move
ments give him great pain. He may also
turn on his back and jerk the limb into
the air, though not so high as to throw
himself out of his balance. Should these
attempts prove unsuccessful he must try
to reach the shore with his hands, or at
all events keep himself afoat until assist
ance a be procured. If he cannot float
on his back he may swim upright. keep
ing his head above the surface by strik-
ing the water downward with his hands
near the hips.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

An umbrella repairer'S den is almost
as interesting n place as ar old book
shop. A few years ago, when tramps
were abroad in the land in large num-
bers, many of them armed themselves
with hammers and umbrella frames that
the mixers disguise might shield them
in the surreptitious inspection of window
f~astenings. But now the repairer of
faded and infirm umbrellas has a place
in the world, and although rascals may
be in the business, they are fewer han
they used TO be. There are in this city
some six or eight men who conduct hos
pitfalls for the treatment of old rain pro-
t~ectors, and two men manufacture UNI
brellas from stick to cover at the order
of customers.
ANY bell that's got a head on i'm
and can do anything can mend an UNI
brclla," said one of the umbrella doctors
to a reporter as he bent over a broken
catch.
Round about were umbrellas in all
stages of decay, with numerous handles
and other essentials. Ribs were piled up
without number, and ribs to spare-but
moi spare RIBS" The anatomical con-
struction of the umbrella is peculiar, and
the rib is an important feature. AS the
doctor said, it is the most easily knocked
out of gear of any of the necessary parts.
The best ribs are imported from Eng
land. There are two kinds, the solid and
hollow. Umbrellas are not made as good
as formerly. The handle is the chief
thing noticed in buying, and a neat
handle piece will sell for a good price
an umbrella that will fall to pieces inside
of two weeks. The best articles are man.
ufactured in Philadelphia and New York.
The cheap ~gold-headed umbrellas are
good for our business. Unless they are
exceptions to the general rule a few
months finishes them and we are called
to make repairs. With the ribs the cover
is an important part. We furnish them
from 81 to 81. An umbrella can't be so
badly mangled but we can fix it so long
MS there's a little something to build on.
Part of a stick and n few ribs are enough
to give us our bearings. indianapolis

Dyspepsia is dreadful. D~isordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. 1t is easily put out
of order.
Greasy food, tough food. sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours. If
regular habits and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people a nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad bus
mess and making the American people so
healthy that they can enjoy their meals
and be happy.
Remember: No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower

tic. Ask you druggist for u bottle.

Removal of sections of bone in surgical
operations has heretofore been q long,
tedious process, effected with mallet,
chisel, gougcs, etc. 1t is, perhaps, the
most brutal and unscientifc method
which could be adopted and sounds like
the operative butchery which existed in
the last century. This has all been re-
formed by an invention called the electric
osteotome, which is an instrument hold
ing a circular saw at its extremity, re-
volved with lightning speed by an electric
motor. This, when held against a bone,
makes n clean cut through it in n few
seconds; in fact, its action is instantane-
Gus. by holding the osteotome in n
s~lantinG position wedge shaped pieces can
be cut u with equal promptitude. There
is no danger Of the saw cutting the soft
parts, as they are protected by a re-
tractor, an instrument which is passed
down and under the bone.-Chicago

They have nc Bible in the French courts
to swear on, and the crucifiX which was
used for that purpose has been removed.
But now and then a witness needs to swear
by something, as in n judicial examination
at Marseilles lately of a man accused of
murder. A cab driver was asked if he
could swear to certain testimony he had
given. He raised his hand in a tragic
manner toward heaven and exclaimed in
stentorian tone: 81 swear it, Monsieur lie
Judge, by the ashes of my poor sister who
died of the cholera!'' He had something

There are a few cases recorded of total
loss of memory, usually following a deep
and prolonged (unnaturaD sleep or severe
accident, such as conclusion of the brain,
almost drowning, etc. In one or two of
these the personal identity has been COM
pletely lost, SO that on recovery the vic
tim lost all remembrance of name, family,
friends, localities and mental acquisitions.
They were in the condition, SO far as
knowledge of any kind was concerned,
of the newborn child. In some of these
re-education was successfully attempted
and a new memory formed, but the old
was never regained. In others, a larger
number than of those just mentioned, the
f~orgetfulness was of only temporary du-
ration. After q few weeks OIL months all
that was before known was regained in
an instant and the process of re-education
wa no longer needed. There are numer-
GUS instances of the memory being lost of
all that had occurred for hours, days,
weeks, or even months, Immediately pre-
ceding a serious accident in which the
brain had suffered conclusion. In these
the memory relative to everything up to
a certain date before the accident remains
intact on recovering consciousness
